Dear guests, if like us you truly care about
our profits
that doesn't sound right
doesn't it?
Dear guests, if like us you truly care about
our profits
wait you just did it again
did I?
Dear guests, if like us you truly care about
...the planet
and things
you simply need to leave your towel hanging in the towel rings
But if you prefer that Mother Earth dies like a....
then please do feel free to leave your towel ready for collection on the bathroom floor...thankyou
Here at Unilsle
And all of our subsidiaries
we're deeply concerned about
earth's sustainability
So to prove our commitment
to protecting these lands
we're switching 95 percent
of our typefaces to Comic Sans...
Cocacola bring you Plant Bottle Plastic
They say it's eco friendly isn't that fantastic?
We can't substantiate the claim but there's a picture of a leaf.
Herbal Essences Organic Experience
It might be the toxins that are making her delirious
Propolyne-glycol-D&C-red33 don't grown on trees
LOL!
ROFL!
Behold the
Greenwashing
Green lights mean go Green Folding
Faux factual
so natural
We've pledged to phase out plastic straws by 2084 wooo!
high 5!
A wise old woman
on top of a hill
was visited one day by some Neo-liberals
Oh wise old woman
What's your word?
Why does green capitalism
Seem so absurd?
From a. thoughtful silence
she soon whispered
for the same reasons dear, that you can't polish a turd
Volkswagen bring you default devices
It's how commercial science tackles a huge crisis
Why contemplate a vital state when you can teach a car to cheat?
like Herbie but Evil!
Not forgetting nor abetting them at Starbucks
They wrote the book on how to look as if you give a fuck
then spent a hundred million on keeping everything discreet...
who?
who?
Monsanto?
Monstanto?
Yeh we know them...
sort of...
they're just like a. farmers market
farmers market
Now shut up and drink your coffee!
Behold the
Greenwashing
Green lights mean go Green Folding
Faux factual
so natural...
So here's to latte drinking
blue sky thinking
number crunching
puppy punching
fact blocking
logic squashing
lean
green
cash
machine

We Are Fossilheads

I see the woman
She is standing silently
Profoundly graceful and beautiful in her certainty
I see the woman she sees my timidity
Her eyes are solid and my heart is hammering through me.
She walks towards me
Oh God I think she’s gonna talk to me
To me
She opens up her mouth and draws a breath before she speaks
She says oh baby
She says She says She says She says She says oh baby
please don’t
(Spoken) buy any more Bags for Life? Or reusable nylon shopping bags because?…In the cupboard under the sink
Where it used to be stuffed full of normal plastic shopping bags…it’s NOW filled with…Bags for Life and reusable nylon shopping bags and … the reason they’re called ‘bags for life’ is that
So I say well SCREW YOU, RACHEL! At least I’m trying! Not like YOU with your dairylea Dunkers and your… CAR!
YOU LITERALLY FLY! EVERYWHERE!
Only because what I do is so important!
YOU’RE A GUITARIST!!!
I AM AN ARTIST! And don’t be such a snob!!
I’m not a snob! I just think! If we’re trying to reserve air travel for exceptional circumstances! Then your version of ‘The Laughing Gnome’ isn’t one!…if we’re ever going to stop being… just…
F-f-f-f-fossilheads! When your goals need coal and leave a mass of trash
Fossilheads! When your radical eco-conscience runs on gas
We put the *GLOW* back in GLOBAL TRAGEDY
We put the SING back in DEADLY RISING SEAS
We put the OOH back in existential doo-ooo-oooo-oooo-ooom
It’s a fossil led supremacy
The future is petrifying
Oh my God
We’re going to die
We’re going to die
Ba ba badada. Wooh!
Keeping a lid on the fear will diminish us
Is it the flight or the Fight that will finish us
Is it just time for our crimes to extinguish us
Ba ba bada ba
Necessitas non habit lagem
Fere libenter homines id quod volunt credunt
FOSSILHEADS - when you'll boil for oil and go for broke for coke
FOSSILHEADS - when your inert survival instinct needs a stoke
We put the purrrrr back into PERnicious greed
We put the titty in titanic sacrosancTITY
We put the SEX back in masS EXtinction here
It's purifying
Petrifying
And we're dying for the show to go on
(spoken)
And you've got like, 49 reusable coffee cups...what's THAT about?
Can we just drop it!?

Baby Dyke Barbie

But what became of baby-dyke Barbie?
Or for that matter her PVDC hair?
Or the box that she came in
Or the bag she came home in
Or the bin she was thrown in
We may purge and disown
But these moments are STILL HERE
Each hilarious fake dog poo - still here
Every smashed Buckeroo - still here
Deely boppers and cherished space hoppers still here
Shrinky Dinkies, spokie dokies, Tinkky Winkies broken still here
Tamagotchis
Each defiled Action Man it's still here
Somewhere still on this planet still here
And the eyes and the ears still heeeeee-eeeeeee-eeeeee-eeeeere
And the moustache and the feet of mr. potato head
Though not the actual potato
cause that's biodegradable... so it's fine...Just play with potatoes children!
Each plastic bottle you put ya lips to - still here
That White Lightning you sicked through - still here
Tic tacs, pixie sticks, takeaway coffee fixes still here
Kwenchy Kups you sunk with your dairy lea dunkers (I look at you accusingly, you look sheepish) still here it's true
6 billion tonnes of plastic sack-age still here
And that's just from one Amazon package!
Each piece of plastic through your hand will
Still be here in some great landfill or
Floats around with the sad, lost fish in the ocean
Every dayglo bright orange swimming bag - still here
That you and each of your friends had - still here
Rainbow Brite and her STUPID horse Starlight still here
And NO, I'm not still BITTER that I wasn't given a
GUN!
All the gum! all the tinsel, each promotional pen!
All the tape, every chapstick, all the green army men
Every plastic toggle still here, gonks will...
(great pacific cabbage patch kids- still here - , sending our trash to Malaysia and Vietnam tips - all the rubbish goggles still here every game of Boggle will...)
Still be here in some great landfill or
Floats around with the sad, lost fish in the ocean un - un - un
and on
and on
and on
and on
and on
and on ...

Curious, Radical Friend

Curious, radical friend
Did you forget my name?
Cos’ my life’s suspended in time
’til I might see you again
The first time we marched by the dock we were only 18
The fight lost, the irony grim
The sadness since moved in with me
Dubious, benevolent friend
Did you forget my face?
Cos I’ve been denying too long
Convictions I’m trying to trace
The first time we fought for our lives
We knew we might burn
Now my life’s suspended in time
til that understanding returns
I saw the cloud above Taiji
A sorrow that
Swallowed you whole
saw you go under
A thousand times stronger than me
I saw a window
flat ironed to their backdrop
a sleek 2 dimensional world from a laptop
and I’m
Suspended in time
Waiting for you
and for the screws to start loosening
I’m ready to roam
I’m calling you Home
The first time we fought for the sea
We knew we might drown
The fabric of all that we love
Washed up in the fuel of our row
I’ve seen a cyclone in waiting
In blurs of indifferent dreams
you’re trying to contact a
dull and illogical me
Oh! for a chance to regain our vitality
Look for the view that will lead you right back to me
I’m
Suspended in time
Waiting for you
And for the truth to start moving us through
Into the streets
People proceed
Gaining in numbers and power and speed
We need you here -
I feel you near
